How Do You Sew A Satin Edge On A Bridal Veil?
Making a bridal veil is not difficult as it might seem, and it can save you hundreds of dollars. Veils bought in a boutique or bridal shop can be severely overpriced, but you can make one yourself for under $20. A dressy trim, such as beads, satin ribbon or cording, can be added to the edges to make the veil look more professional and finished. Lay the tulle out on a smooth surface once you have cut it to the desired length. Fold the ribbon in half lengthwise as you lay it on the edge of the veil. Make sure that half of the ribbon is on the front of the veil and half is on the back side of the veil. Lay the satin cord on top of the veil, right at the edge, if using cording instead of ribbon. Make sure that it is straight, and not twisted around, as this will make the veil look very wavy when finished. Pin the satin ribbon or cording to the edges of the veil. Iron the edge of the ribbon at your lowest iron setting, if using ribbon. This will give a nice crisp edge before sewing. Thread
